 End times - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another view of the 'end times' known as Preterism differentiates between the concept of 'end times' and 'end of time', and promotes a different understanding of these prophecies, in that they took place in the first century, more specifically in year A.D. 70, when the Jewish Temple was destroyed, and animal sacrifices were stopped.
In this view, the 'end times' concept is referring to the end of the covenant between God and Israel, rather than the end of time, or the end of planet Earth.
End times speculations have occasionally been made the subject of political controversy, especially in the United States when conservative Christians seek national political office.
